Effect of ALS Globulins on Amino-acid Incorporation by Human Peripheral Lymphocytes

Nature volume 225, pages 459–461 (1970)Cite this article

Abstract

THE mechanism by which antilymphocyte globulins act on immunocompetent cells remains unknown. Recent studies have demonstrated that antilymphocyte sera (ALS) and phytohaemagglutinin (PHA) display a similarity in their action on the lymphocyte1–6. We have studied the action of these substances on the incorporation of amino-acids by human peripheral lymphocytes.
